Oh, baby, do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand

Oh, baby, oh show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore

Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I'm feeling swept away

Oh I'm
Oh I'm swept away
Oh I'm

Oh, baby, don't leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept in the air

You say it's nothing
But a game to play
Oh I'm feeling swept away

Slow, baby, you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the tide

A feeling only or a state of mind
Gonna take me high, mama
Mama, take me high

Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away
Oh, baby
Oh I'm swept away

Since Roy Orbison passed away, we have 2 excellent crooners remaining:  Brian Ferry & Chris Isaak! Different styles, but, both great!

Roxy Music earlier, Bryan Ferry now. Thanks for that, Bill and Rebecca! (not sarcasm)

Don't miss Ferry's cameo in Babylon Berlin ... as a nightclub performer in 1929 Berlin.  Fits perfectly.
 
I really enjoyed Babylon Berlin!! Now I will have to watch it again and look for B. Ferry!

Yes. Gilmour played on this record, "Bete Noire", "olympia" and the single Ferry did for an 80s movie "Is Your Love Strong Enough?"

One of the Gentlemen of Rock & Roll, along with Robert Palmer. Ian Anderson exemplifies the Country Gentlemen factor (imho), at least during the Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses period, as does Lyle Lovett.

Bryan is best when combined with Brian
 
If you're referring to Brian Eno, that was a relatively short period of time; they apparently didn't get along very well.

Ashton was wearing "pull-ups" when this cover shot was taken. Super song!

This is truly terrible. 
Posted 15 years ago by sporkster    [ Reply ]
An underappreciated song.  Even by me.  I actually didn't hear it much when it came out but heard it a few years ago and really liked it.

I wouldn't say that - my attitude to Bryan Ferry has usually been one of studied indifference. Much of his and Roxy Music's output is aural Mogadon, and goes in one ear and out the other leaving little trace of its passing. This effort is no exception.
